PSEG

Newark, NJ

The Public Service Corporation was formed in 1903, by amalgamating more than 400 gas, electric and transportation companies in New Jersey. Thomas McCarter was named the Corporation's first president and held the position until 1939.

Internally, Public Service consolidated its gas and electric interests into Public Service Electric and Gas, and its transportation interests into Public Service Coordinated Transport (later Transport of New Jersey). Concerns about the concentration of economic power resulted in federal and state actions requiring the breakup of utilities. In 1943, Public Service once again became a stand-alone company, and was renamed Public Service Electric and Gas Company (PSE&G) in 1948

PSEG as 100 People

PSEG has 13,000 employees across multiple states representing varied backgrounds and expertise. But could you conceptualize what a snapshot of PSEG would look like as just 100 people? That’s just what the PSEG Foundation set out to do when it partnered with the 100 People Foundation.

Using the 100 People Foundation philosophy and methodology, we set out to meet the 100 people who could best represent our company.  The result was a diverse group of employees who helped create a community that represents PSEG by job type and companywide statistics. Employees from varied positions, levels and tenure were nominated by their peers as the people they most admire. 

Some of the employees chosen to help represent PSEG as 100 people served in the military, where they learned about great teamwork, or are the third generation of their family to work for PSEG. More than one nominee was the first member of their family to attend college.  It is this diverse culture that makes us who we are: a great place to work and a committed member of the communities we serve. 

As part of the 100 People Foundation’s larger global initiative, our project will be used to teach students about what an energy company looks like and where energy comes from.
